It has been nine months since seven-time All-Star Grant Hill decided to hang up his high tops and head into retirement after 19 seasons in the NBA.

But, as Hill told Sporting News this week, he has gotten a number of calls from teams this season hoping to coax him back into uniform.

His response: No, thanks.

“Oh, yeah, I have gotten a few calls here and there about coming back,” Hill said. “I won’t say who. But I, without a doubt, have no desire to come back and play. I remember someone telling me, play until the wheels have fallen off. The wheels are off.

"I appreciate my role being around the NBA, around the game. That right there is enjoyable for me. But there’s no desire to play. You always want to play, but being on an NBA team, I have no desire to do that. Zero regrets.”

Hill played for the Clippers last season, but had trouble staying healthy, playing in just 29 games and averaging 3.2 points in 15.1 minutes. Prior to that, Hill spent five productive seasons with the Suns. He turned 41 in October and, if he were tempted out of retirement, would be the oldest player in the league.

Instead, Hill has been working as a broadcaster with TNT and NBATV, and is gearing up for his first post-career All-Star weekend, which he will help cover.

“It will be a little weird, a little different than what I’ve done before,” Hill said. “But it will be, I think, a lot of fun. I went in ’89 as a fan, and obviously over the years, I was a participant. Covering it will be great. I will be running around, doing different things, calling my first game in the BBVA Rising Stars Challenge. This will be the first time I really worked hard during the All-Star break.”

And, given Hill’s no-regrets policy on his retirement, probably not the last time.
